What should be done about colds in premature babies

Patient's question:

The baby came out at 7 months. They are a premature baby. Now they are 1.5 years old and suddenly caught a cold. What should I do for a premature baby who has a cold? I don't want to give the child medicine. I'm afraid that their already weak constitution might have more problems. But what should I do when they have a cold?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. This friend. Although your baby was born prematurely, he hasn't had a cold for a year and a half. This shows that the baby's constitution is still very good. After the baby has a cold, he should drink more water, pay attention to keeping warm, and eat some light and easily digestible food. You should eat small amounts of food to avoid the accumulation of symptoms. You can go to the hospital for massage to improve cold symptoms and enhance physical resistance.
